Arthur Umanoff Iron Obelisk Pyramid-Form Freestanding Shelving Unit/Etagere

$2,800.00

Scarcely seen sculptural wrought iron shelving unit designed by Arthur Umanoff for Shaver Howard.
Unique, graceful pyramid/obelisk-form with four rectangular shelves in faux wood grain laminated pressboard and a rattan basket. Shelves are mounted by screws and can be removed, if a different shelving material is preferred.
Practical, aesthetically pleasing storage/display solution occupying a small footprint.
Good, vintage condition with losses to the shelves, as shown. Remains a visually stunning, structurally sound, rare design by Umanoff. All original condition including all parts (note that the vacant space at the top was designed without a shelf, evidenced by the absence of ‘ledge’ on which the other shelves rest).
